FBCDC STATEMENT OF FAITH

WE BELIEVE in the verbal inspiration and full inerrancy of the whole Bible as God's infallible revelation to man, consisting only of the Old and New Testament

WE BELIEVE in one God eternally existing in three Persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit

WE BELIEVE in Jesus Christ's deity, virgin birth, sinless humanity, substitutionary death, atoning blood, bodily resurrection, ascension to heaven, and his personal, visible return in power and in great glory to establish His kingdom on earth

WE BELIEVE in the fall of man, resulting in his complete separation from God, and his need of salvation

WE BELIEVE that salvation is a free and everlasting gift of God by faith in Christ alone, without works, and solely by grace; that every person is responsible to receive salvation by personal faith (commitment, trust) in the LORD Jesus Christ

WE BELIEVE that although not saved by works, in a life full of good works as evidence of true faith

WE BELIEVE that the Holy Spirit regenerates with divine life and personally indwells the believer upon his faith in Christ for salvation

WE BELIEVE in a life of holy living by the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit

WE BELIEVE in the future resurrection of the saved and the unsaved:  eternal glory for all believers with the LORD in heaven; and unending punishment of all unbelievers in a literal hell

WE BELIEVE in the one true church, the body of Christ, consisting of all believers

WE BELIEVE in the believer's baptism by immersion

WE BELIEVE in obedience to our LORD's command to intentionally witness in order to lead people to faith in Christ, and to disciple them to grow in Christ-likeness.

WE BELIEVE in the responsibility of every church member to grow spiritually through regular bible study, prayer, witness, and involvement in a local church.
